I agree with this whole heartedly:

"We have a shitty pipeline and we are working on fixing it."

But that doesn't mean that something isn't also broken at the hiring end of the pipeline. If you're a woman, lgbt, or non-white-European descended person, even if you make it through most of the pipeline, you're often fighting an uphill battle at the end of it. It is possible to simultaneously work on the rest of the pipeline while acknowledging and working on what's happening at this part of it too.

It also doesn't mean that something is also broken at the hiring end of the pipeline.
